A Whiter Shade Of Pale
作词:Keith Reid 作曲:Matthew Fisher / Gary Brooker

We skipped the light fandango
And turned cartwheels on the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
And the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said "There is no reason
And truth is plain to see"
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
Ah~ one of sixteen vestal virigns
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just have well been closed

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
Ooh...that her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
Turned a whiter shade of pale

And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
Ooh...that her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
